For the record that's TAUNNN, also available in Avant-Hardecore, Post-Postmodern and TurboXL 3000 editions.I sent this guy a note via myspace, told him we might need to have an assimilated duel, right on the old 96th street Mason-Dixon line, winner keeps the schtick.
Seriously though, well-written piece by Jordan Carlos. Read it and experience state-of-the-art negro technology.
On a related note, I found this hilarious. It's even more timely because only a couple days prior I sent Gabe, who writes The Unethicist for Gawker, some "fake intra-office memos" as a potential funny bit we could do together, and in one of them I told him I was thinking about starting a new column called "The Negrethicist" ... a joke that has now come to life on Radar.
Seems sipping from the race section of the communal idea-pool is getting more and more popular
TAUNNN the Invincible!! Nothing will penetrate my adamantium melanin armor ...

TAUNNN sounds like TAN with a yawn. Don't like it.
ReplyDeleteApparently, Jordan Carlos is so assimilated, he's forgotten that Wu Tang exists and has never been to parks in big city black neighborhoods. Old black men (and young politically minded types) love them some chess.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed they couldn't find a single black performer as lifeless and dull as Dmitri Martin.
ReplyDeleteBesides, it's not as if the Daily Show is any more lily white than a real newsroom. Ed Bradley's death took, what?, 40 percent of the black people in TV news off the air.
Maybe you use the same pool of water, but you add kool-aid and alcohol so everyone can get girl-drink drunk. That's why we love you TAN. At least until next morning's hanghover.
ReplyDeleteyoda - hmmm, he might have been in on it, still want to get the check though.
ReplyDeleteill-suit - i think i agree with you.
eauhellz - nice point there on the wu and chess.
tracer - true, racism in art imitates racism in life.
